I like Slicehost a lot. Although their prices aren't the best for what you get, they aren't bad, and the service is wonderful. There is nothing worse than going with a discount-bin host, and then having a problem, and finding their service staff is unresponsive.

A2Hosting is awesome, though I've only used their shared hosting. If they had windows VPS I'd be doing VPS with them too, but unfortunately they are a Linux shop, so I can't do all my hosting with them.

VPS.NET is a new cloud based VPS provider. It has been fantastic for us so far. Their staff are very helpful and competent. These are the guys behind the uk2group that owns many other service providers.

And you get a bunch of perks: Free DNS management that hooks up with Softlayer's anycast system. Free SSL certs. Free ISPmanager Pro for those that want a simple control panel.

I've been using VPS.net for a few months they are very good. If anyone fancies trying them out the discount code AV408K should get you 90% discount for the first month.

I've been a happy customer of Memset for about 3-4 years. Their support staff know their stuff, their VPS are quite well priced for what you get, and they run on Xen which is extremely stable. My current VPS with them had an uptime record of 100% throughout 2009.

I have been very happy with Linode. Their web interface is a breeze and includes lots of great features such as the web-based serial console, a very clean DNS configuration editor, and snazzy performance graphs. Their prices are low and their uptime high.

I currently manage over two dozen servers at linode and slicehost. they are both excellent. You will get more for your money at Linode and the support at both companies is superb. I wouldn't trust my data to any other vps provider. (except maybe amazon ec2)

They offer both Hyper-V and Parrallels Virtuozzo hosting at a very good price, their support is awesome and during setup they even loaded Windows Server 2008 R2 for me. I had my sites moved and running within 24 hours.

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable and stable VPS host.

I've been using BudgetDedicated for the last three and a half years; they're a low cost, no frills, VPS provider. They've been rock solid (I've seen no unscheduled downtime in that period [*]), I've not had a whole lot of reason to get in touch with them, but when I have, I've had my queries answered quickly by the founder, Erik de Bruijn, or his brother. They run a low carbon footprint server array, and are a fairly small operation. Erik is pretty active in the open source and open innovation scenes; BudgetDedicated hosts the Wine .debs, and Erik is involved in the RepRap 3d printing project.

As a general point, if you are in Europe, the Netherlands is a good place to run a web server, because it is close to the main internet line running across to the US.

[*] I should note that the Wine project have seen some outages in that period, four that I know of. AFAICT, they were all sysadmin issues.
